Rahul Gandhi Proposes 50% Reservation For Women, If Voted

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that his party will reserve 50 percent of government jobs for women if it is voted to power.

Rahul Gandhi said that powerful women will change the destiny of the country.

Gandhi asked why even today only one in three women is employed? Why is there only one woman in 10 government jobs?

Posting on X, Rahul Gandhi said, “Isn’t the population of women in India 50 percent? Is the presence of women in higher secondary and higher education not 50 percent? If so, then why is their share in the system so low.”

“Congress wants, Aadhi Abaadi Poora Haq, we understand that women’s potential will be fully utilized only when women have equal contribution in the government running the country,” he added.

He further stated that Congress has decided that half the recruitment for all new government jobs should be reserved for women.

Gandhi said, “We are also in favor of the immediate implementation of women’s reservation in Parliament and assemblies.”

He also said that women with a secure income, future, stability, and self-respect will truly become the strength of society.
